How do I download all my messages from my on-line server (hostek.net) to my computer

I've just installed Thunderbird on my computer, and I want to download my messages from the server to the hard drive on my computer and delete all but the most recent from the server. I have already installed Thunderbird, I just can't find out how to download the messages.

Thanks

David

I've figured it out. Move to local folders is the answer, after setting to POP
